The shirts, which went on sale on Wednesday, have seen a swift response, with over 3,400 sold by Thursday. Medium through extra large sizes have sold out, but small and extra small are still available. Colbert and Andrés have been handing out shirts to the New York City studio crowd and firing them into the audience using T-shirt cannons, adding to the buzz around the shows finale on May 21st.
